JOSEPHINE TEO: 4 LIFT BREAKDOWNS A YEAR IS ACCEPTABLE

It states that “Mrs Teo also said the performance of the lifts serving the three 40-storey Natura Loft blocks was unacceptable. With 5.2 breakdowns per lift per year, it fared worse than other estates in the GRC with similar high-speed lifts.

4 breakdowns per lift per year?

“We want to bring this number down to four breakdowns per lift per year, which is on par with the rest of the lifts in the GRC. I believe it can be done,” said Mrs Teo.

Each time there is a breakdown, the lift can take over a week to repair. One lift at Block 275 has been decommissioned since February.

But she said the data does not suggest that the Sigma lifts need replacing right away as the breakdown rate was not of “an order of magnitude of difference” from the average lift.”
